FAQs
Speak with your social worker. They will be able to discuss whether the program is a good fit for you. Your social worker is the only person who can refer you.
Youth Transition Workers will help you to identify your specific goals towards aging out of care and develop a service plan with you. Workers will then help you to work on your goal areas. Each service plan is unique to each participant, however some of the general areas we can help you with can include getting necessary ID, employment, life skills, housing search skills, and connection to community resources.
We can work with you until 6 months past your 19th birthday. Your intake into the program must be completed before you turn 19.
